EXCESSIVE TAXATION. ,
The excessive taxation of property In
C'latoop county Is an evil which calls
for prompt attention on the part of
the property owners. In chasing the
railroad phantom during the past three
years, no attention has been paid to
this important matter, with the result
that holders of acreage and other
realty are now placed In an extremely
critical position financially, whllo the
oounty (reaeiv'es teqmparutlvely little
benefit from exhorbltant taxatlon.When
It was first proposed to assess property
at Its speculative, Instead of Its real
value, the idea was thought to be good,
because of the showing that would be
made when the aggregate valuation as
returned by the county board of equal
ization to the state board could be
compared with the figures from other
counties, but since nothing has been
accomplished further than to embar
rass the owners of the land assessed
and hurt the entire county, the prop
erty holders are beginning to see the
matter In Its proper light. Out of the
aggregate of lust year's 22 mill . tax,
the state's share Is 12 mills. That val
uatlona are Inflated It must be ad
mitted, and consequently the county Is
burdened with more than Us proper
proportion of the expenses of the state.
A few figures from the report of the
action of the state board of equaliza
tion at Us session In December of last
year, will conclusively prove the above
Rtatement. For Instance, the aggre
gate valuation of n'lty, village! and
town property as returned by Clatsop's
board of equalization wits $2,588,811
whllo the figures from Lane county for
Mmllar property were but Jl.til.l.SOO.nnd
Linn county, $1,701,8(10. The return of
Marlon county wns but $2,107,91)8, ul
though 30 per cent, won ncUleil by the
state board, as was done nlso In the
enso of Linn county. Then came Mult
noinah county with but $2r,77G,G70, as
the aggregate valuation according to
tho county bonrd, but to which 30 per
cent, was added.
It Is true that part of the fault lay
at the outset with the owners of prop
erty thonuielveH, but tho assessor and
county board of equalization were In
the main responsible. The former went
to work on the basis that the price for
which land wns held wns the proper
basis of assessment, and ho was suS'
tuined In this erroneous view by the
board. Doth the latter and the osseskor
were evidently forgetful of the fact,
i
or Ignorant of It, that there was no
sale for property at tho prices asked,
and that much of It hud been purchased
at Its real value nnd held with the
hope that when the market became
brisk through the settlement of the
railroad question, a handsome profit
could bo realized. In brief, the assessor
valued the property at what the hold
ers fondly hoped they might get for it
at some future time, nnd not at Its
value at the time It was assessed. .
In Portland, as high as $3,000 has been
asked for land which was assensed at
$30 per aero only a year or two ago,
while quite recently property has been
sold In the vicinity of the metropolis
for $500 an acre, when It was assessed
at but $20 per acre.
It Is scarcely necessary to go fur
For the Next Thirty Days,
To meet imperative demands, I will
offer at such low prices on install
ments, with easy payments, that
ther Into details. Linn and Lane coun
ties furnish examples that might be
followed with profit by Clatsop cotm
ty's assessor and board of equalization,
These counties, representing a real val
uatlon many times greater than that
of Clatsop, are combined, assessed at
but little over 30 per cent, more than
Is this county.
The remedy for this foolishness lies
in some measure with the property
holders. Let them discuss the sltua
ation fully and freely, and there Is no
doubt that there will be a change In
the sentiment of the community, and
facta can be so placed before the as
sessor that he will see the wisdom of
making radical changes In his plans
for the present year. Owners of realty
need all the money they can get, and
the less that is sent out of the county
the better for all concerned.
THE ALASKA SALMON PACK.
It la noteworty that the Alaska pack
this year Is expected to attain the large
quantity of 800.000 cases. The Alaska
association has announced its lnteiv
tion to pack about 625,000 cases, but It
la evident from the amount of supplies
and gear which It has shipped north
ward that It Is resolved to exceed that
supposed limit. It Is believed that the
Alaska pack will reach 1,000,000 cases
within five years. There are no
canneries on one half the number of
Htreams which it is believed are fre
quented by salmon. Vast regions are
entirely unexplored. In them the salm
on have not been molested by even
the 'Indian ptfrulatlonv Under such
favorable conditions the fish must have
multplied amazingly, affording oppor-
unltles for fishermen such as existed
In the palmy days of the Columbia
river, when; thousand of salmon were
thrown away from inability to pack
them.
Astoria can afford to regard with
complacency the growth of the Alaska
salmon industry. That growth cannot
lntefere with the Columbia river trade,
which Is well established at home and
abroad. The excellence of our chlnook
salmon Is recognized the world over,
and will ensure a steady, profitable
market for all that our cannerymen
can pack with the present limited sup
ply of fish. The cheap price of the
Alaska product may even serve to
keep salmon in general demand and
Impel many persons who consume it
to look for the superior quality packed
at our canneries. The development
of the Alaska business should, how
ever, make our packers more vigilant
lu defending Columbia brands against
all Infringements. It should also pro
mote measures that may make Astoria
the leading market for the salmon
packed In Alaska and British Colum
bia, as well as for all that Is canned
In Oregon and Washington.
Tho peoplo of Seosldo will be greatly
pleased at the opening tomorrow of
tho Astoria and South Const railroad
after Its customary winter slumber. It
was hoped that it would have new ex
cursion cars, but that expectation Is
not likely to be realized. There will not
be many changes In the Seaside dis
trict In the coming season but enre
will bo taken to entertain guests well
and render their visit to tho shores of
tho Pacific enjoyable.
